Please read this Agreement carefully before completing your purchase. By placing an order you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted all terms herein.

2. Definitions

3. Subject Matter

This Agreement governs the sale and electronic delivery of software licenses listed on the Website. The products are Rhino 3D plug-ins and related engineering software developed by Notilus Software for naval architecture and marine engineering applications.

4. Product Information and Pricing

Product descriptions, features, system requirements and pricing are published on the Website at the time of purchase. The prices shown include any applicable taxes. The Seller reserves the right to update pricing at any time; however, the price confirmed at the time of the Buyer's Order is binding for that transaction.

Item Type Delivery
Software license (e.g. Notilus Steeler, Notilus Scantling, Notilus Piping, etc.) Digital software license Electronically, via account activation, immediately upon successful payment

5. Free Trial

All Notilus Software products are available as a 15-day free trial prior to purchase. Buyers are strongly encouraged to evaluate the software fully during the trial period to confirm it meets their needs before completing a purchase.

6. Order and Payment

Orders are placed through the Website's checkout page. Payment is processed securely by iyzico or PayTR and accepted via Visa and Mastercard credit/debit cards. The Buyer's payment details are processed and stored solely by the respective payment processor; the Seller does not access or store card numbers.

The Order is confirmed when payment is successfully authorised. A confirmation email is sent to the Buyer's registered email address.

7. Delivery

Because the Products are digital software licenses, delivery is effected electronically and immediately upon payment confirmation. License access is granted through the Buyer's account on the Website. No physical shipment takes place.

8. Right of Withdrawal

Under applicable consumer protection legislation, consumers generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from distance contracts. However, for digital content supplied in a non-tangible medium, this right is lost once the digital content has been accessed or downloaded, provided the consumer has given prior explicit consent to immediate supply and acknowledged the loss of the withdrawal right.

As a commercial courtesy, and without prejudice to the above, the Seller voluntarily offers a 14-day refund window from the date of purchase, provided the conditions set out in the Cancellation & Refund Policy are met.

9. Circumstances Where Withdrawal Does Not Apply

The right of withdrawal (or the voluntary refund) does not apply in the following cases:

10. Terms of Use

10.1 The Licensor grants the User non-exclusive and non-transferable end-user rights to install and use the Software within the User's organisation. Each license permits use of the corresponding Software on a single terminal at any given time; the number of concurrent users of each Software product may not exceed the number of licenses purchased for that product as set out in the Order. Reinstallation of the Software is generally the responsibility of the User. However, if reinstallation becomes necessary due to hardware failure, changes to the User's server, or other technical issues beyond the User's reasonable control, the Licensor will provide reinstallation services at no additional cost to the User. The User will provide the Licensor with reasonable notice of the need for reinstallation and cooperate with the Licensor to complete the process.

10.2 The User may use the licensed software only for the designated purposes.

10.3 The Licensor holds the copyright to the software. Copying, distributing, or reverse-engineering the software is prohibited.

10.4 The license can only be used by the User and cannot be transferred to others. The User acknowledges and declares that the copyright of the special software techniques used in the software produced by the Licensor belongs to the Licensor and will not share it with any other institution or company during the term.

10.5 The Licensor may provide updates periodically to ensure the correct and up-to-date use of the software.

10.6 The User acknowledges and declares that all ideas, thoughts, expressions, comments, and writings expressed are their own and that the Licensor is not responsible in any way.

10.7 Including all applicable restrictions related to copyrights or other intellectual property rights, but not limited to these, the User is deemed to have accepted to use the Software in compliance with the applicable laws of the legal system of the region where the product is used. Ignorance of the legislation in question will not be considered an excuse.

11. Disclaimer

11.1 The User cannot hold the Licensor responsible for any data loss or material or moral damage resulting from the non-permitted use of the software by the User.

11.2 While the Licensor makes commercially reasonable efforts to ensure the software operates reliably and is fit for its intended purposes, the Licensor does not warrant that the software will operate uninterrupted or entirely free from errors. In the event of any issues, the Licensor agrees to resolve such issues within a reasonable time frame, ensuring minimal disruption to the User's operations.

11.3 This service level commitment does not extend to issues resulting from the User's breach of this Agreement, including but not limited to unauthorised modifications or misuse of the Software.

12. Default and Payment Disputes

In the event of a payment dispute or chargeback initiated by the Buyer through their card issuer, the Seller reserves the right to suspend or terminate the Buyer's license until the matter is resolved. Fraudulent chargebacks may be pursued through applicable legal channels. Disputes should be raised with the Seller in the first instance at info@notilussoftware.com.

13. Data Protection

Personal data collected during the purchase process is handled in accordance with the Seller's Privacy Policy. The Seller processes personal data as required to fulfil this Agreement and complies with applicable data protection legislation including the GDPR.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. In the event of a dispute, the parties shall first attempt to resolve the matter amicably. If a resolution cannot be reached, the dispute may be referred to the competent consumer arbitration panel or court of law as appropriate to the Buyer's jurisdiction.

15. Amendments

The Seller reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time. The version in effect at the time of the Order governs that transaction. Updated versions will be published on this page.

16. Entry into Force

This Agreement enters into force when the Buyer completes the checkout process and payment is successfully processed. By completing the purchase, the Buyer confirms they have read, understood and accepted all terms of this Agreement.
